New York Yankees vs Colorado Rockies Prediction and Picks, September 9, 2026

At Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees have been putting up impressive numbers lately, scoring more than 1.5 runs above their opponents on average over the last 12 games. They've also been strong against left-handed pitchers this season, which could mean fewer runs against the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies, on the other hand, have struggled, averaging less than 4 runs a game in their last 12, and they've won only 3 of their last 10. Both teams are facing a left-handed starter, and while the Yankees hit well against them, the Rockies have not been scoring much at all. This matchup looks like it could stay low on runs, with our numbers suggesting a total around 8.5. The biggest risk here is that both teams might surprise us and score more than expected, but with their recent forms, the under seems like a solid choice.

New York Yankees vs Colorado Rockies: Colorado Rockies +1.5 Spread (-105)

The New York Yankees have been showing some solid form lately, winning six out of their last ten games and scoring about 1.6 runs more than their opponents on average. They do pretty well against left-handed pitchers, hitting around the same level as the league average. However, the Colorado Rockies have also been competitive, even if they've only won three of their last ten games. They come into this matchup having scored 0.4 runs less than their opponents recently, which makes things interesting. Taking the Rockies with a spread of +1.5 feels like a smart pick. They've faced left-handed pitchers decently and could keep it close. The biggest risk is how close the teams' recent performances have been, with both sides capable of putting up a fight.

New York Yankees vs Colorado Rockies: Jake McCarthy Over 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (+110)

The odds for Jake McCarthy to get over 1.5 total bases are looking good at +110. The New York Yankees have been strong lately, scoring an average of 1.6 runs more than their opponents in recent games. McCarthy has shown some solid hitting this season, with a strong on-base percentage, which gives him a decent chance to rack up those bases against a Yankees team that can struggle against left-handed hitters. However, the Rockies have only won 3 of their last 10 games, and that could mean they might not support McCarthy as well as needed. Still, with his ability to get on base and the Yankees' current form, there's a real shot at hitting this mark. Just remember, nothing is guaranteed!

New York Yankees vs Colorado Rockies: Mickey Moniak Over 1.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (-110)

For Mickey Moniak to go over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs, he'll need to have a solid game against the New York Yankees. He's been decent this season, but his performance in day games right after night games isn't great, averaging no doubles in those situations. However, he's been hitting well at Coors Field, so there's a chance he can do something special today. The Yankees have been scoring well, averaging 1.6 runs more than their opponents lately, while the Rockies have struggled to keep up.

New York Yankees vs Colorado Rockies: TJ Rumfield Over 1.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (+115)

The Yankees have been strong lately, scoring about 1.6 runs more than their opponents in their last 12 games. They've also won 6 out of their last 10, showing they know how to get the job done. With TJ Rumfield stepping up against left-handed pitchers, he has a solid chance to shine. His performance at Coors Field has been good, and he's hitting well this season, which gives him a good shot for over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs. On the other side, the Rockies are struggling a bit, averaging 0.4 runs behind their opponents in recent games. They've only won 3 of their last 10, so their confidence might be shaky. The risk here is that both teams are close in hitting against lefties, but Rumfield has shown he can deliver at the plate. So, this bet could be a fun one to watch as he tries to make a mark today!
